New trailer for Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, starring Oscar Isaac

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Alex Garland's EX MACHINA is playing SXSW this week and today we've got a new trailer for the sci-fi thriller to share with you.

This newest trailer follows the first domestic trailer and clip we brought you earlier, and it certainly has a "Frankenstein" element to it. This one has seriously piqued my interest and I can't wait to check it out when it arrives on April 10.

Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated––and more deceptive––than the two men could have imagined.

EX MACHINA hits theaters on April 10th.
